Albie Morkel smashed 40 from 18 balls to help South Africa beat New Zealand by 13 runs in their opening Super Eight game at the Twenty20 World Cup on Thursday.
Morkel, dropped from the South African one-day team due to his poor batting form, inspired his team to make 62 off the last five overs and pile up an impressive total of 170 for four.
A partnership of 72 between Morkel and AB de Villiers (47 not out) was crucial in taking the South Africans to a big total with Morkel smashing three sixes off one over from Tim Southee.
In response, New Zealand never really settled although there were useful contributions from Jesse Ryder (33) and Nathan McCullum (26).
